:: Hello from the Critique Club ::

This is a lovely image. It has good detail and is well composed. Personally, I have little issue with it.
Flower haters will always ignore it, but those who like the subject matter will enjoy it.

My only points are that:
a) it's a little colourless - which matters only if you want to do well in the challenge (see John Setzler's stunning colour fest on the front page);
b) the centre detail is quite indistinct, and
c) the light is a tad flat inside the flower which reduces textures and definition on the key areas.

Cheers
Jon

A very harsh result for an excellent vibe - and unusual for the genre, but as you say it suffered some compression problems which may not have met with super-smooth image requirements of many voters here. It has a real feeling of death/disease about it - nice. :)

Very nice idea and a damn cute truck! It's flawed but very nearly went the distance.

No vanishing point - doesn't meet the challenge. [1]



Just kidding. :) This is superb - lovely tonal range and great lighting. This building is a great find.

I like the surreal vibe to this - and, like you say, there's very little point to it, but does it matter?

Good take on the challenge. Full DOF would have been great - but nice shot anyway.

Erm. What I meant to say was - "I'll EAT the bug in my own shot". Bloody hasty typos. : )

Woh, this is supreme - I'd love to see a print of this. It looks illustrative and very evocative. Such beautiful use of light.

A place I know and love - personally, I admire but it's difficult not to get a sense of deity in an awesome structures such as it is.
